Whatever the unique history,

What is family mediation?

Family mediation is typically used to help parents who are about to separate, are separated/divorced or have been struggling in litigation to craft appropriate parenting plans and learn how to create a co-parenting dynamic.

Which led up to the separation, it can safely be assumed that concerns about recreating a new life with children will bringup all kinds of fear-based thinking, since coparenting, until successfully lived for some time, seems at the outset to be extremely challenging, if not downright impossible to master. To complicate matters, the reasons behind the separation cannot be fully put aside while negotiating the practical aspects of sharing responsibilities for joint children, as this would be unrealistic. Betrayals are never fullhealed, only managed.
